Tablescapes for Autumn and Thanksgiving

Growing up, setting the table for Thanksgiving dinner was always my job, given to me by...me. I loved it.

No piece of my parents' fine china, silverware, or crystal went unused. Tea cups and saucers were at each place setting, even though no tea was served. It was excessive.

These days I use my everyday dinnerware and flatware even for special occasions and set only needed pieces. Not only is it practical but now there is room on the table for a fun centerpiece or tablescape.

We are planning to host a few dinner parties this Autumn and these tablescapes are perfect for the season.
